AOA‘s Chanmi and Choa addressed those stupid old bullying rumors on ‘YamanTV‘ recently, which I can’t believe was actually necessary.
Choa chimes in and says, “She does take care of us, but she has a strong personality in general. I want to clear this up while being on camera. I think (Chanmi) couldn’t control her facial expressions [while being on camera]. If I search up my name, the related search is, ‘Chanmi Choa bullying.’ But it’s nothing like that– Chanmi is just blunt. She had a very hard time because of this.”
After listening, Chanmi says, “There was a time where I had to sing Jimin‘s parts on a radio show because she couldn’t be with us that day. After I was done singing my part, I was looking anxiously at the other members. I was looking at Choa because it was her part. I ended up making a mistake, but rumors spread that I was glaring at Choa when I did so.”
Remember kids, having Bitchy Resting Face means you’re bullying.
Personally, I’m not sure what is better: the idea that having dead eyes when they’re on radio probably operating on 45 minutes sleep means there’s conflict, or the idea that actual bullying would happen in the public eye and not behind the scenes where we find out about 10 years later like with S#arp.
